Shadow of the Bat
04:55

Worshippers gather at the altar
Hand in hand calling for His descent
A chorus of voices becomes a cacophonous prayer to our vampiric end
Legions are calling for the offerings
Welcoming mankind's apocalypse
Mark down His sigil and fall to your knees as arrives the great Necromantis
The Bat whispers your name
A chiropteran hex
Beast now awakens as the forsaken
Witness this becoming that we adore
This nocturnal uprising as the great failure of mankind takes on its new form
Turn your eyes skyward and join in this blessing
As the Bat's shadow darkens the sun
Open your veins to His majesty as this transformation makes us now one
The Bat whispers your name
A chiropteran hex
Turn your eyes skyward and join in this blessing
As the Great Heathen has returned to reclaim
The sky becomes blackened by wings of leather
Turn your eyes skyward and take in His blessing
As we rise with His vampiric reign
Inhale His ichor and live forever

Seance
02:56
|

Join with hands upon the planchette
Call out unto the deceased
Gather around this ancient ritual
Seeking to witness them speak
In this hour where the veil is thinnest
We break into gateways obscene
Longing to contact the dead
We open the cold in between
Now as the spirits are awakened and their ancient horrors unknown
Corrupt mankind's reality as this nightmare unfolds
As the dead are resurrected and this game becomes a curse
This sacred celebration welcomes salvation's inverse
Oh, won't you join this ritual with me?

Chooser of the Slain
05:41

Here in this nightmare, a landscape of grey
Soon I'll be martyred, a soldier of faith
Blood, shit and vomit form my death cocoon
In this ritual of violence, my life will be His soon
The Lord is my Shepherd, for righteousness He leads
I will fear no evil for Thou art with me
I lay here now, a plea for salvation, to rise above the horrors of the mass of nameless graves
My mortal soul will soon be saved as I await the presence of the Chooser of the Slain
Here is this nightmare awaits an early death
For almighty God, I'll soon be nothing left
An awakening of afterlife existing as deceit
Will leave me trapped a revenant punished by my beliefs
Religion now lost, my cries He has denied
If this god is so holy, why won't he let me die?
I lay here now and beg for salvation to rise above the horrors of the mass of nameless graves
My mortal soul will surely be saved as I await the presence of the Chooser of the Slain
Here in this nightmare, a landscape of grey
Soon I'll be nothing but a secular haze
The Lord was my Shepherd but He led me astray
I'm born only to feed the worms, fodder for a harrowed grave
No one to hear my death knell, left here to die alone
Abandoned by a God just to be a name in stone
I lay here now and descend into madness as I realize that all I gave was in vain
My mortal soul will lay here to waste forgotten by the cursed lie of the Chooser of the Slain

Damned
02:21
|
|||
A curse most wretched fills the air in the lungs
A weakening damnation spews forth
Hope is devoured beneath sinking tides
This crushing weight shows you your worth
And unto the damned comes creeping darkness that surrounds
An unholy infestation of this life
To the damned comes crawling a hatred so foul
An incurable hexation of the light
Forever unending, forever alone
Before this cancerous debilitation bringing you to your knees
Before this monstrous inescapable lifetime of disease
Forever damned

The Gunslinger
04:48
|
|||
Tired and weary, he continues onward
Through a desert reaching to the sky
The world had emptied as the man in black is fleeing
And the gunslinger follows behind
Beyond all time remembered
They meet near the old killing grounds
Fate spelled out by ancient forces
The man in black lays the tarot down
Tired and weary, seeking the answers
Through a path reaching now beyond sight
This empty world stands before him beckoning
He stands facing the fading light
Beyond all time remembered
A journey into death lays ahead
Fate has been cursed by the Tower
The gunslinger approaches the end
To witness the time of the drawing
Onward the Tower awaits him
